The two packages which have failed to respect this in the past few days were cups-1.2 (use BUILDROOT= for where to install it) and poppler-0.5 (no obvious workaround, I noted that Mandriva uses rm -rf against the rpm buildroot before it starts the build - for my purposes, a preliminary build with --prefix=/tmp/usr worked fine, but then I'm the only physical user).
